regstir-imdb How this movie made it beyond 4 is beyond me. Not one watchable or believable scene, pathetic direction, can't blame the actors for the otherwise sordid movie this is. The screenplay writer needs to be sent to Syria before he/she releases the next one. Even Asylum movies are better than this - wait I didnt check if this was by them b4 I wrote this so the joke might be on me

a_chinn I've never seen a Lifetime Chanel film before, but I've heard them mocked as poorly made thrillers typical featuring women in peril. That pretty much sums "Fatal Defense." I'd set a series recording on my DVR to record anything that Sherilyn Fenn is in and this made-for-cable film showed up, so I gave it a watch. Fenn wasn't the main character. That would be a pretty blond haired single mom, Ashley Scott ("Into the Blue" and "Jericho"), who signs up for a self defense class and is charmed by the handsome instructor. But guess what? He's a psycho and goal all Fatal Attraction on her. Fenn has a supporting role as a police detective trying to help Scott. Ridiculous dialogue, poorly constructed suspense, laughable action sequences, and general incredulity abound. One star for Fenn and Scott, who are better than this dreck.

edwagreen One may be justified in saying that the story spirals out of control. Nonetheless, we have a spine-tingling thriller here with a woman, a victim of a home invasion with her child in the house, signs up for a self-defense course.Obviously, she gets much more than she ever expected with the hard-nose instructor-even some romance at the beginning until the latter shows his true colors.The guy has committed previous murders and actually thinks that he is helping in his instructions with the macabre that descends upon our woman in question.Apparently, we see that she learned her lessons too well as we see by film's end.There are plenty of plot twists along the way with the fiend discovering who has been committing all the burglaries in the neighborhood and forcing him to plant drugs in the woman's house when she protests to the police about his extremely rough methods.

i_am_here What were the producers of this extended music video thinking? The not particularly good music was incessantly oppressive from start to finish; 86 minutes of continuous acoustic assault. For the first time that I can recollect, I was actually looking forward to the commercial breaks, as they provided some much needed respite.It wasn't even background noise, and while it never quite overwhelmed the actors' delivery of their respective lines, it was certainly a significant distraction. Then again, given the poor quality of the script, and indeed the entire screenplay, maybe this was deliberate.The only redeeming quality, it makes one appreciate the beauty of silence.
